Abstract

A power converter includes a converter, a smoothing capacitor, an inverter, and a controller. The converter rectifies a power supply voltage applied from an alternating-current power supply. The smoothing capacitor smooths a rectified voltage output from the converter into a direct-current voltage including a ripple. The inverter converts the direct-current voltage smoothed by the smoothing capacitor into an alternating-current voltage to be applied to a motor. The controller performs control such that a first physical quantity representing an operation state of the converter is equal to a second physical quantity representing an operation state of the inverter.
